Hogwarts one shots

His Flower (Tom Riddle)

As storm passes by in London, people are rarely seen to be on the streets, some are hidden in their house, some are getting shelter beneath a bus stop, some are working in buildings, some are in cars, some are under their umbrellas soaking wet.

But in a certain orphanage, children inside are playing, some are sleeping, some are eating, some are dazing off, and some...

Are reading by their self in the library.

A boy named as, Tom Riddle. Tom, as said, is reading a book, alone, in the library as the storm is seen through the window. As usual, he sticks himself to a book like every other day. But on this day, his life would change.

A female, quiet as mouse, peeks through the door to the library, silently observing the lonely boy. 'Should I go talk to him? He seems not so bad like what the others said...' The female thought as she continues to observe the boy.

"Come out."

'E-Eh?! Have I been caught?!' she quickly lets go of the handle and ran away from the library, leaving the door creaking.

Tom turns his head and looked at the door, narrowing his eyes, 'I wonder who it was...'

2 days later

2 days has passed since the storm, and the female has continued to observe Tom's every move, and Tom is slowly more irritated as he doesn't like yo be watched.

One day, Tom caught the female and demanded her to explain herself, locking them in the library, holding the key in his hand.

"Now, tell me. Who are you and why have you been spying on me?"

The girl stuttered as she feel embarrassed to be caught in this situation, "I-I-" , Tom tutted, "I dont have all day, Tell me."

Suddenly the floor seemed to be more interesting to her, as she bowed her head in shame.

Tom sighed, not patient enough to wait for her answer, she grabs her jaw roughly and made her stare at him in the eye.

"Tell. Me."

Tears started leaking from her eyes as she gulped, "Y-you seemed so lonely, and the others were talking about you. I-I got curious and wanted to check..." Tom sighed, "That's why you've been spying on me? What a waste of time." Letting go of her jaw he walked further, the female ashamed looked at his back, not wanting to make things bad between them.

"C-can I be your friend...?" Tom stopped on his tracks and took a deep breath, "Do whatever you want, just dont annoy me, unless you have a death wish."

As he continued walking, she stared, feeling her cheeks lifting, she smiled. 'Maybe he isn't so bad!'

She joined his side as they walk to wherever Tom might be heading.

9 years later

Tom had received another letter, the letter in hand was especially beautiful, a white Lily decorating the letter, a snake drawn on the letter.

Carefully, he opened the letter, immediately smelling the familiar citrus perfume, he unnoticeably smiled.
